叫醒大脑，提高你的记忆力
夏天一到，人就容易犯困，但休息不足在加上天气闷热时，人的整个状态就会有所下降，相应的，记忆力也会变得有些弱。怎样提高记忆力，双语阅读，听听国外专家的意见。
Forget to send that email? Return a call? Meet a deadline? If you chalk up memory mishaps to having too much to think about, you might be making excuses. “We all have a good memory; the problem is no one taught us how to use it,” says four-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis.
忘记发邮件了?忘记回电话?到了截止日期才想起来有任务没有完成?如果你把记忆错误归结为有太多的事情要考虑，你可能在找借口。“我们都有很好的记忆力;问题是没有人教会我们如何使用它，”四次获得美国记忆冠军尼尔森•戴利斯（Nelson Dellis）说。
MAKE IT EXCITING
将要记住的事情变得有趣
One of the best ways to boost your memory is to take advantage of what the brain is naturally good at: remembering the extraordinary. “Most people can recall a traumatic or memorable event,” says Dellis. “It’s not some sort of super human memory; in those instances, there was something special and our brains absorb that better. Ninety percent of your day is non-interesting; you need to turn it into something memorable.”
提高记忆力的最好方法之一就是利用大脑天生擅长的东西:记住不同寻常的东西。“大多数人都能回忆起创伤或难忘的事情，”Dellis说。“这不是某种超级人类记忆;在那些情况下，有一些特别的东西，我们的大脑吸收的更好。你每天90%的时间都不是很有趣;你需要把它变成值得纪念的东西。”
“Give it a color and make it as real as possible,” says Dellis. “If you want to remember a name, come up with picture of what the word could represent.”
USE A MEMORY PALACE
使用记忆宫殿
Dellis’s most tried-and-true technique is creating a memory palace, which involves creating pictures and memorizing them along a path through a space that you know well, such as your home or office. “You could probably walk through with your eyes closed,” he says. “If you want to remember grocery items, link each one to that space.”
Dellis最可靠的方法是创建一个记忆宫殿，它包括在你熟悉的地方(比如你的家或办公室)中创建图片和记忆。“你可以闭着眼睛走过去，”他说。“如果你想记住食品杂货，把每一件都链接到那个地方。”
LINK THINGS
将事情关联起来
Another memory tool is using a linking method. “You’re still coming up with pictures, but the way you store them is different,” he says. “A linked list connects each item to the next, so it’s a narrative.”
另一个工具是使用关联法。他说:“你还在拍照片，但你储存照片的方式不同。”“一个链表将每个项目连接到下一个，连起来就是一个故事。”
“The more bizarre, over the top, hilarious, or vulgar it is, the easier it is to remember,” says Dellis. “We remember things that are truly out of the ordinary.”
Dellis说:“越奇怪，越搞笑，或者粗俗，就越容易记住。”“我们记得那些真正与众不同的东西。”
GET READY FOR INFORMATION
随时准备接受信息
A lot of memory is about paying attention. “It sounds obvious, but we live in a day when our attention span is very fickle, because there’s so much coming at us all the time,” says Dellis. “Force yourself to be laser-focused on one thing at a time.”
很多记忆都是需要集中注意力的。“这听起来很明显，但在日常生活中，我们的注意力持续时间很短，因为每时每刻都有很多信息涌来，”Dellis说。“强迫自己一次只专注于一件事。”
“This process, as insignificant as it seems, does wonders,” he says. “You’re not thinking about what to say or noticing something across the room. You’re paying attention to the person in front of you, getting ready to accept their name.”

“Give it a color and make it as real as possible,” says Dellis. “If you want to remember a name, come up with picture of what the word could represent.”
“给它一个颜色，让它尽可能真实，”Dellis说。“如果你想记住一个名字，可以想象一下这个词可以代表什么。”

他说:“这个过程虽然看起来微不足道，但却能创造奇迹。”你不是在想该说什么或注意到房间对面的什么东西。你在关注你面前的人，准备认真听他们的名字。
